Ages ago, evil beings created powerful creatures called Espers and Ages ago, evil beings created powerful creatures called Espers and unleashed them against each other. The resulting battles turned their world into smoldering rubble. Legend has it that the Espers destroyed themselves and most of humanity. Centuries have passed, and a rational world now stands. Espers and magic exist only in myths. Suddenly, after an ancient frozen Esper is unearthed, there are reports of attacks on civilians. Imperial Commandos launch raids using magic-powered MagiTek weapons. Magic is obviously alive, and the world is in danger again. Who or what is behind the rediscovery and redeployment of this legendary power? What chaotic plans will wreak havoc on this orderly world?

The sixth installment in the iconic Final Fantasy series, Final Fantasy VI introduced the ability to play all the main characters as the game's protagonist. With plenty of abilities available and the magicite system for controlling spells/summoning, players can develop their characters any way they want.
